Thirty-seven kidney graft recipients with chronically declining transplant function accompanied by renal anemia were treated with recombinant human erythropoietin for 3 months. In all these patients anemia improved and mean hemoglobin levels increased from 7.67 +/- 1.26 g/dl to 9.83 +/- 1.94 g/dl (p < 0.01). Mean creatinine increased from 4.23 +/- 1.82 to 4.62 +/- 2.42 (p < 0.05) but the progression of transplant failure was not influenced when compared with pretreatment values obtained at least 6 months before study entry. Mean blood pressure levels were not altered but 12 patients required additional antihypertensive medication.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
